For years now, President Donald Trump has pushed to lower insane prices Americans have been stuck with through bad policy and bad deals under past presidents and Democrat government. One of his biggest moves in the last year has been to make Big Pharma answer for decades of ripping off Americans while addicting them to everything from opioids to antidepressants and more.
Now like any stubborn varmint, the pharma companies don’t want to change. They can’t seem to stop picking fights on this, even though they know they’ll inevitably lose to Trump. So maybe it’s not exactly surprising, but still infuriating, that drug companies are set to raise prices for 2026 by a lot. Not standard price inflation or the “progression of time and markets” type of increases either, y’all. The other kind. The greed kind.
I just want to remind y’all here, this isn’t some pet issue of a few internet weirdoes. Drug prices are a big deal to Trump. He brings it up a lot. He issues Executive Orders and policy statements, and he’s spun up a whole healthcare plan and TrumpRX on the subject. Here he is talking about it just a couple weeks back.
